Summer’s Nearly Here

Ah, what a glorious day it was here in southeastern Pennsylvania. How about where you are? I spent all evening in my garden until the darkness nudged me to finally go inside. And now I’ve just remembered that I didn’t share with you my latest travel photos from Puerto Rico. I hope that no one minds when I put up a post of photos unrelated to food. I know you all come here mostly for the food. But pretty pictures are worth a visit too, right? Enjoy and dream of lazy days beside the pool or on the beach. They’re nearly here!

Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention my favorite gastronomic experience in Puerto Rico: the coffee! What amazing cups I had from several of the local grower’s beans. Intense flavor and notes of spice and vanilla, but absolutely no bitter after taste. Maybe that after taste comes from all the fumes when it gets shipped hundreds of miles away… nah, but there is surely a difference between coffee gathered just an hour away and that which comes to us in an airplane.

Amazing photos! And you know, they make me sad. Why ? Because when I look out of my window all I see is the concrete jungle and gray sky. No palms, no beaches, no sun ……
I guess it’s high time to start saving for a trip to Puerto Rico ;)

It was beautiful for sure, but very pricey. Beware of the hidden fees ($15/night), maid service ($2.50/night), mandatory bell hop ($7), etc.. But, yes, it was lovely and in a good location for visiting San Juan and the rain forest and other sites.
